Criss Cross: A Psy-Cop Novel

by Jordan Castillo Price

I looked at Jacob and he glowered at me as if he dared me to say anything. I wasn't going there.

Crash knocked the bead curtain aside with a heavy box woven from some kind of cane or bamboo. He slammed it onto the plexiglassPlexiglas and Carolyn and I winced. Jacob was motionless.

A black woman with a flowered scarf covering her hair followed. She was big, well over two hundred pounds, and looked to be at least sixty. A blue caftan covered her body, hanging loosely over the mounds of her breasts and wide curve of her hips. Her skin was dark and shiny, and she fanned herself with a cheap paper fan printed with the likeness of Saint Anthony. I realized she was the one who'd been humming in the back room. Crash didn't introduce her, and I was too freaked out about the state of my liver and Jacob's big, bad attitude to ask.

Crash pulled a sheet of paper, copied on both sides, out of the basket, and a few baggies of polished stones. He unzipped the baggies and dumped the stones onto the counter, and then considered them. The black woman pointed to a particular stone, and he pulled it out. "I made up this chart that'll tell you how to place the gemstones," he said, working fast as if he just wanted to get our visit over with.

"Turquoise, hematite, citrine, rose quartz, sodalite—pay special attention to this one since you're psychic, it'll keep your third eye clean."

He went too fast for me to follow. I hoped the chart was color-coded.
